Crane River Cheese Club

Cutest little deli! Sells a lot of cheese varieties as well as oils and seasonings. All of their sandwiches look great--would recommend if you want a little bit more of an elevated take on your typical sandwich. High quality ingredients, and a lot of thought behind what's put in them.Got the #5 Italian Sandwich which was delicious! One of the best Italian subs I've had--extremely flavorful and balanced. Great bread to filling ratio. Definitely on the smaller side, so it was a little pricey ($17), but personally I felt like it was a solid serving--and all their sandwiches come with a side.Will definitely be coming back to try their other sandwiches!

First time trying this spot! Needed some dinner while working the evening shift. I got Italian Sandwich SPLIT in half. And a side of Bacon & chive potato salad. Also extra pickles on sub and a peach ice tea drink. The sub bread tasted fresh and the bread wasn't soggy. A perfect amount of wine sauce and the tomatoes, lettuce and were fresh tasting also. They give you a great amount of meat pretty hefty! Great tasting Italian sub the potato salad was good as well! Will try again when working the evening shift for dinner very satisfied with the quality and the taste of the food!

On a rainy day I dropped in to order a to go sandwich at Crane River Cheese Club, chef Brian Poe's latest venture (he owns Tip Tap Room next door and is a partner at Back Bay's Parish Cafe). I ordered the Sage and Peppercorn marinated turkey sandwich with a side of potato salad. Pros: Very good grilled Turkey, on grilled ciabatta with avocado aioli and burrata cheese. Cons: --Red baby potato salad was drenched in lemon zest, you couldn't take more than a couple of bites before tossing it because it was like eating shaved lemon peel. --For a self proclaimed "cheese club" there's barely any cheese on the menu, I was looking forward to an interesting cheese sandwich with like 3 different cheeses and veggies on baguette or something similar but the only sandwich options are turkey, fried chicken, prosciutto, pastrami, salami, ham, sausage burger, roast beef. More of a game club than a cheese club. (To be fair there is a small cooler with a few gourmet cheeses for sale). --No indoor seating even though the space could accommodate a small espresso table with a couple of chairs. Relevant on this rainy day.

Fantastic artisan sandwiches. The roast beef (deli style, not North Shore, nor Chicago) was incredible. The balance of flavors with the truffle, rosemary, and horseradish was a perfect combination. These were clearly high quality and carefully curated ingredients. The fact that it came with potato salad was a pleasant surprise bonus.Additionally, they sell a select amount of craft beer, local cheeses, and high-end wines too. Perfect to spend more money while you wait for your amazing sandwich to be prepared haha. The staff was also very inviting.

The sandwich was ok, good quality but the turkey was like one of those pressed chicken breasts from subway (although I am sure it was not) but the sage and the texture was weird. The broccoli salad was also an odd flavour, I couldn't stop eating it but wasn't sure I liked it. I would try again but a different sandwich and the potato salad. Cute place, busy, slightly expensive as the sandwich is not big.

Five stars for this small business. Located conveniently in the Beacon Hill MGH neighborhood, Crane River Cheese Club serves up delicious sandwiches. There's a small sandwich menu written on chalk as you walk in. The person at the counter makes it fresh and serves the sandwiches with a side of potato salad or broccoli. They also have a small selection of wine, cheeses, desserts, and other small snacks. I ordered the #1 which was packed with Italian cold cuts and cheese. Very flavorful perhaps a little salty but that's kinda how these meats are. The potato salad also amazing. The service was fast. The environment was cozy! Try them out!

Great Italian sandwich - I only wish I'd received the potato salad with bacon the I'd order instead of the broccoli salad (but I ate it because it was good for me). Nice selection of beverages and snacks to round out a quick meal.

I've eaten here a few times now... honestly one of the best sandwich experiences I've had. This place is worth driving at least an hour to come visit. The intricacy and complexity of the sandwiches, mixed with the obvious sense of how fresh and clean each ingredient is... This place is so under-rated. My guess is in no time, this place will have a 30 min wait out the door. Get there and try it before then!

I live right around here and have visited this place a few times for their sandwiches. It's a small cute place with some outdoor seating. They sell some cheeses, deli meat, and wine as well as some sandwiches made to order. I have gotten the fried chicken sandwich which is pretty decent for the price (I do wish the fried chicken was perhaps a bit crispier). The sandwiches cost about $14 and also come with your choice of side. I recommend this place if you are hoping to grab some sandwiches on the run of decent quality. The esplanade is nearby if you're hoping for a view while eating!

Great sandwiches. Amazing ingredients. We had the turkey and burrata and fried chicken. Both were awesome.
